The vignette of the package shows this: use the as<>() and wrap() converters.

The Rcpp documentation has lots more on this.
 
The RcppArmadillo package has examples.

Eight other CRAN packages use RcppArmadillo, and thereby provide more
examples.

This mailing list has an an archive full of examples. 

There are dozens of blogs posts showing it too.

Lastly, no, I have not had time to write a book or manual on RcppArmadillo.

Correct. 

And Armadillo itself has very good and extensive documentation you should
consult as well.
